Fat Grass Restaurant — Restaurant in Bay City

Decided to try FAT Grass. The atmosphere was good. Very nice inside and out. We ordered drinks right off. Strawberry Margarita for me and a fruity rum drink for my fiance. Ordered appetizer at same time crab/lobster cakes. I'm old school so restaurants should bring water with the menus. Waitress came back and said it's taking a little long for drinks because they needed to make the mixers up fresh because they had ran out. Ok no biggie. Drinks came Margarita in Mason jar said no salt but rim was salted ok no worry. Fruity rum drink tasted great had grenadine mixed in looked nice also. Appetizer came 2 cakes plated very nice/fancy. A little bland but ok taste. Had to ask for water. Waitress ok conversation. Said good be out soon. Ordered 2nd round of drinks. Took a while. Menu was a little overpriced but manageable food came out. Very nicely plated. Pork chop and cheese grits for me. Chop was perfect. Cheese grits were just that. For fiance they were good. She had stuffed Chile rellenos vegetarian with side of rice. She liked it. Me. It was ok. Our 2nd round of drinks came. Looked nothing like the first round. My Margarita came in a small mixed drinks glass that tasted like a strong strawberry mixed drinks and the Fruity rum drink had no grenadine. I told the Waitress this should be half price due to It was 2/3 smaller than the first one I had. She said she would check. Food was good like I said. Atmosphere good. The Waitress came back and said they had ran out of the Mason jars is why it was small and that she could not lower price and that she would bring me a side of the mixer. Hahahaha really. She said bartender said it had same amount of liquor. If I wanted a mixed drinks I would have ordered a mixed drinks. I wanted the same strawberry Margarita I received the first round. She did offer to add grenadine but declined for Fruity drink. Tab was $74. Normally woulda left 20% tip plus. But against my better judgement I left a 10. Should not left that due to the offer to bring me some side of mixer instead of a equal glass that the first round was. Any way we probably won't be going back. The place was nice. Owner should have waitresses moving around more. Standing at the end of bar way too much. Oh bread was offered half way through our meal. No water refill offered. Not being ugly. They asked to tell everyone how our experience was so I did. And I know how it is to run a restaurant also so I'm not hating. I just expected more. Get the drinks right and all would be...

Fairly often regulars, since we moved to the area. My wife called to order 2 orders of chicken Alfredo for pickup. Arrived and hostess stated the price for 1, looked over and saw only one on the counter. After talking with the hostess and bearded fellow behind about the confusion they told me it would be 15-20 minutes before the 2nd would be ready.

I expressed that I would like 2 fresh ones, since the first one would be 15-20 minutes colder. They agreed and so I went to grab a bottle of wine from specs.

Returning, both on the table, so ready to grab the food and get home. The bearded fellow who explicitly agreed to two fresh ones, let me know they had both just come out.

Imagine my surprise and frustration when I open both and notice several differences that make me believe they just tossed the initial one in a frying pan and just rewarmed it. The chicken in the fresh was organized with the slices arrayed on top of the pasta while the initial had the chicken broken up and mixed in with the pasta. Further the initials pasta had strong black searing marks. Last, the consistency of the Alfredo sauce was different, with the initial having a thicker consistency. If they were prepared together, I certainly would have expected them to look alike in presentation and appearance, so one could surmise they might not have been.

While I'm disappointed in the failure to receive the order right, and the subsequent failure for two fresh ones; I am most dismayed with the bold lie to my face about them being fresh and insistence on the pick-up. Not sure if management condones these practices but certainly disappointing from a place that normally...

We went on Friday, 3-8-2024, in the evening around 7 pm. It was just ok. The atmosphere was chill. There is a patio area outside. We sat at a booth towards the back. Which was totally ripped and cracked. Was that part of the decor (let's just say maybe). Anywho, I ordered a mojito drink. Weirdest flavor. I didn't even finish it. Check the video. When i left, it was halfway. It's too bad because it at least "looked pretty" the flavor wasn't there at all. Work on that bartender person. Staff was friendly, the food looked pretty, flavor wise, it was pretty bland. Idk. It just seemed like everything was pretty, just not flavorful at all. Gordon Ramsey would certainly say worse. My steak I ordered was my usual medium well, that steak was drier than who knows what. I'm glad it came with that topping on it to help give moisture back into that piece of meat. The mashed potatoes. Again, it looked super appetizing and lacked flavor. They get points for sure for making food looking good. It's when you eat it that the disappointment sets in. The only thing on my plate that was tasty was the greens. I mean, it was food. I ate it. It served its purpose. But who cooks the meals there? Do they taste the food before it goes out? Spent $100 there. That was me tipping $20 to my waiter. (Im great like that). It's definitely not worth those prices, LOL! $29 for my steak meal. Not for the hockey puck they served me. Owner, check in with your cooks. Is it complacency? Who...
